UiTM Professor Seeks PhD Students

A professor from UiTM in the faculty of chemical engineering has informed us of an opportunity for students looking to pursue their PhD in the field. We are publishing this notice as a public service for interested students, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of the programme. The details:Ph.D. studentship opportunities

Master's degree holders interested to pursue Ph.D. in any of the following research themes at Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA are invited to forward their CVs to yinyang@salam.uitm.edu.my and yinyang@streamyx.com. A stipend will be provided for the suitable candidate to support his/her study.

Candidates that show excellent progress during their study shall be considered for paid short-term research placements in either Japan, South Korea, Australia or Germany. The selection criteria for this Ph.D. studentship are listed in the following:

1) Good written english;2) Published at least an ISI-indexed journal article as the first author (preferably - not essential);3) Graduated either cum laude or has at least an Upper Second Class Honours undergraduate engineering or science degree.

This must have something to do with the previously debated impression of "Malaysian IPTs produce less productive PhDs"... Sigh, and the (presumably)credible ones have to, hence, resort to blog advertising to get credible responses.

Marc,It seems rumours that one public university is giving very little time for chinese students to go for they chinese new year. Could it be a sabotage to make sure the chinese dont hv time to study for their exams...

How do you know that most of the readers here are non bumis? I am a bumiputera and i believe that this blog is followed closely by a lot of bumiputras as well. I'm sure the Government also take into consideration the comments and articles published here.

come on,everybody is reading this blog, (most of my bumi's friends)if he/she chooses not to write a single word, doesn't mean that this blog only will be read by a certain group people.grow up!.....i hate racism. seriously. anyway, it is a good blog.

it is unbecoming of you assuming the readers of this blog is from non-bumi.such a shame there is a chinese like you who posted this here. i believe other chinese do not share your stupid common-sense. this is cyber-age lah bro. wake up. do you still live in Ip Man- era?
